Jack Lemmon (February 8, 1925 – June 27, 2001)

What was this deep, dark secret that Jack Lemmon had? Oh, surprise, surprise! A drinking problem.

This birth chart is unreliable due to the time not being necessarily exact. Whoever decided it was 2:00 pm may have been hoping that Pluto on a Cancer Ascendant gave a correct spin on his dynamic (and troubled) personality.

There are two inconjuncts.

Moon Inconjunct Uranus

Your relationship with your mother may be rather unstable. She may be very involved in her own interests, which prevent her from being as close to you as she would be otherwise. She may be an unconventional person, a real free spirit. The problem is that your feelings about her are mixed, both loving and unloving. You may secretly resent her. Probably you don’t feel that you can express this consciously, but it could come out when you are angry or upset. Certainly this will result in not wanting to form close relationships with other people, especially women. And the people you do choose as close friends are likely to be exciting and different from anyone you have known in the past. However, they may also be rather upsetting.

Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven

With this aspect you may have to build up your self-confidence considerably while you are young and learn that you are as worthy as anyone else. Even though these are your learning years, when you must develop a great deal of discipline, you still deserve as much consideration as anyone else. Your natural tendency is to yield to authority, so that those people who are most influential in your life, including your parents, should be very careful about how they exercise their authority over you. If they try to control you too much, or if they make you feel that you aren’t able to manage your own affairs, it will be difficult to correct the effects of this negative influence later in life.

Again, the Sun and the Moon are in Opposition

Do you wonder how Lemmon was able to effectively cross-dress in “Some Like It Hot”? This aspect…

In more recent times, he would have become a trans person, as we have seen with others who have this configuration. But in those days, the best you could have been was homosexual. I’m not sure if Lemmon ever crossed the line, but the impulse would have been there, for sure. Maybe that’s why he drank so much. He was dampening down his ’emotional’ urges.

So, the question is: when does fantasy imitate life? Answer: when you act so fully that the lines blur.
